Win Big in the PokerNews $10,000 PokerStars League

The $10,000 PokerStars PokerNews League is set to kick off an exclusive poker league where you are playing for cash prizes, league points, and the 'right-to-brag.' The League series brings a variety of poker formats and added value from the 10 weekly league events that take place every Wednesday at 21:00 EDT (02:00 BST). The weekly added prize pools and a league point leaderboard culminate in a $10,000 FREE added final!

Each league event will award cash prizes and winners will also accumulate league points that accumulate to an entry into the PokerNews League Final on December 21st.

The cash prize added to each event is a huge incentive and online poker players know that FREE money = Must Play. But along with that FREE money, every player knows the league points will get them into the PokerNews League Final. The weekly tournaments award league points according to where players finish. One bonus point is awarded just for playing in each tournament; play each weekly tournament and accumulate 10 points.

Everyone can play in the $10,000 PokerNews League at PokerStars, regardless of where you got your PokerStars account. The only restriction is you must have a password for each event. The password will be released at PokerWorks 48 hours before each event begins in our News Flash.

Once you have your PokerStars account and are ready to play the $10,000 PokerNews League, you can pick one event where you earn double the amount of league points. Make sure you announce your 'wild card' tournament choice on the dedicated forum thread before the start of your chosen event. The double points’ award is only a one shot deal so choose wisely.

At the end of the 10 weekly tournaments, the top 27 players on the league leaderboard advance to the PokerStars League Final on December 21st at 21:00 EST (02:00 GMT). The $10,000 final will send the top 18 players home with cash:
